Six Degrees of Separation – Murmur –> ??

June 1, 2019 by Mackenzie 2 Comments

Happy June! I did one of these Six Degrees of Separation posts two months ago and it was a lot of fun, so I wanted to do it again! Basically you make a list of six books, with each one connecting to the next in some way. It can be any kind of connection! I love this because I love seeing the different ways people think and make connections. This meme (actually called #6Degrees) is hosted by Kate at Books Are My Favorite and Best.

Today’s starting point is Murmur by Will Eaves. This was the winner of the 2019 Wellcome Prize, which celebrates topics of health and medicine in literature. I haven’t read it, but the Goodreads synopsis sounds really intriguing:

“Taking its cue from the arrest and legally enforced chemical castration of the mathematician Alan Turing, Murmur is the account of a man who responds to intolerable physical and mental stress with love, honour and a rigorous, unsentimental curiosity about the ways in which we perceive ourselves and the world. Formally audacious, daring in its intellectual inquiry and unwaveringly humane, Will Eaves’s new novel is a rare achievement.”

Top Ten Tuesday: Rainy Day Reads

April 16, 2019 by Mackenzie 24 Comments

You know what they say, April showers bring May flowers right? Well, regardless, New Jersey seems to be taking the “April showers” to heart because we’ve been having a lot of rain lately, and there’s a lot in the forecast. What a perfect time to talk about rainy day reads! Honestly for me anything is a rainy day read. I love being cozy inside with a candle and blanket, reading a book while it rains outside. But I’m gonna pick a few today that to me give off the vibe of a gloomy but ultimately happy day.

And thank you to Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting/organizing Top Ten Tuesday!

My Favourite Books of 2018

December 29, 2018 by Ri 16 Comments

Making a list of my favourite books of the year is one of the things I’ve come to love about December. I get to gush about the best books I’ve read and share them with you, and because I’ve read many fantastic ones this year, I decided not to limit myself with a number. (Who thought that was a good idea anyway?) Each of the books I mention here deserve the attention, so here we go!
